Tomkins has yet to prove his fitness, let alone his ability to play half back to international standard. I wouldn't bet on Bennett having him pencilled in to fill any position just yet. That's not a reflection of Sam's ability, just a reflection on the reality of where his career's at right now.
He has already played 10 or so games at half for england, and Im just saying what I think will happen, obviously if Sutcliff or Williams end up being a man of steel contender then that goes out the window.
What I meant was that Bennet values giving talented players more responsibility by putting them in the halves, the reason England has so little top halves is because most English coaches dont trust them when their young and try take responsibility off them by putting them at FB
